This watchdog blog, by journalist Norman Oder, offers analysis, commentary, and reportage about the $4.9B project to build the Barclays Center arena and 15-16 towers at a crucial site in Brooklyn. Dubbed Atlantic Yards by developer Forest City Ratner in 2003, it was rebranded Pacific Park Brooklyn in 2014 after the Chinese government-owned Greenland Group bought a 70% stake going forward. As of 2018, after the arena and four towers were built, Greenland will own 95% of future construction.

The bollards, not previously subject to public discussion, would cut the effective width of sidewalk.

The meeting will be held at Brooklyn Hospital Center, 121 DeKalb Avenue at St. Felix Street, beginning at 6 pm. The agenda includes numerous items, including five committee reports, before the bollard plan is listed under "new business."

Developer Forest City Ratner is listed as "invited, not confirmed," which doesn't sound promising. Note that the developer did not publicly release the bollard plan in the first place.

Brooklyn Community Board 6 also has its monthly meeting at 6:30 pm on Wednesday, September 14, to be held at New York Methodist Hospital, at 506 6th Street. The bollard plan is not mentioned on the agenda though there is an opportunity for members of the public to address the board.

Deadline for comments on the bollard plan to the Department of Transportation is September 22; comments should be sent to Emma Berenblit at eberenblit@dot.nyc.gov.
